PIPE A ND CLEANER rnnnnron'.

vented certain new and useful Im rove' ments in Pi es and Cleaners Thereor, of which the fo lowing is a specification. Y

This' invention relates to pipe cleaners, and has for its object torovide a cleaner .whichwill at all times be in operative posi tion toperformits cleaning function.

It is a'well known fact that with most devices of. this kind now in usethe cleaner is inserted in the stem and moves longitudinally to effectthe cleaning of the latter; the chief disadvantage of this constructionis that the depyosit removed from the walls' of the stem is y thecleanergenerall deposited in the bottom of the bowl and t ere isnoprovision made to clean the latter. The

resent' invention aims to remedy this defect y providing a constructionwhich will simultaneously remove the deposit4 both-from the stem andbowl.

With these and other objects in View, as will morev fully hereinafterappear, the present invention consists in cert-ain novel details ofconstruction, and' arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described andillustrated in the accom anyingvdrawings, and particularly pointe out inthe appended claim. It being understood that various changes in. theform, roportion, size and minor details of the evioe may be made withoutdeparting from or s acmcing any of the advantages of the invention. a

with a central` bore Abit 5 having a central bore 6 is coupled to thestem 3 by a ferrule 7, as illustrated in Fig. 1. The bowl l'isat a pointa' A proximately diametrically `opposite to e ore et provided with theopening alin' 'i with the bore 4, and the function of Whicwillrpresently appear. A cleanerin-thef present instance is shown asconstructedbf a single piece lof wire or other suitable ma'- terialhaving convolutions 8, the diameter of sadconvoluted to slidinglyf fitwit stem 3.

The plug' 9 is provided with an opening for the receptionof one end ofthe cleaner 8, which 1s suitably secured therein.

From the foregoing it is obvious thata pipe, such as shown in Figs. 1, 2and .3, and( provided with the o enin as heretofore'described, may bereailily c eaned by turning. the plug 9, which will result tion of thecleaner 8.
